New Lights Plus 7-Speed DCT- New MINI Now Flies Illuminated Union Jacks

MINI Malaysia continues to update their product line-up this year, with the launch of the 2018 MINI Cooper S hatchback, available in both 3-door and 5-door form as well as the MINI John Cooper Works hatch.

Fully-imported from Plant Oxford, UK, the new MINI Cooper S hatchback features subtle changes to the styling, while featuring a new technical change that is the dual-clutch automatic transmission.

  • MINI Cooper S 3-door: RM 226,888
  • MINI Cooper S 5-door: RM 236,888
  • MINI Cooper John Cooper Works: RM 283,888

What’s new

Changes to the new MINI hatchback are rather mild. The most obvious update is located at the rear end of the car.

The tail lamps now have a very distinct Union Jack (the flag of United Kingdom, where MINI originates) graphics.

The round head lamps meanwhile are bi-LED types, and the daytime running lights and turn indicators form a complete ring when illuminated. The new MINI logo can also be found on the bonnet, steering wheel and tailgate trim.

The features in the interior of the new MINI include an updated fuel gauge graphic, an illuminated dashboard trim panel with the stylized Union Jack motif, reverse camera, and a 6.5-inch touchscreen infotainment display.

The shift lever is now a shorter, more modern looking knob (shift-by-wire) with the standard fitment of the new Steptronic dual-clutch sports automatic transmission.

The award-winning ‘MINI Yours Customised’ which allow retrofit components such as side scuttles (the fender indicator trim), dashboard trim panel, LED Door Sills Finishers and LED Door Projector to be produced according to the customer’s personally designed specifications.

The MINI Yours Customised Services can be designed and ordered at www.yours-customised.mini, choosing between various colours, patterns, surfaces and icons as well as adding their own text to the design.

Engine and Transmission

Engine performance remains the same as before, powered by a ‘TwinPower Turbo’ 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine that develops 192 hp and 280 Nm of torque. A lighter engine decorative cover made from carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) is also fitted to reduce overall weight.

Making its debut in a MINI is the new automatic 7-speed Steptronic Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT). The powertrain combination sprints the hatchback from rest to 100 km/h in 6.7 seconds, with the 5-door form requiring a tenth of a second longer. Fuel consumption figures maintain at 5.5 litres/100km for the 3 door and 5.6 litres/100km for the 5 door.

The new dual-clutch sports automatic transmission, with the wet clutches being cooled by oil, is also equipped with a dual-mass flywheel with an integrated centrifugal pendulum that allows for a smoother low-speed driving as well as ‘crawling’ in start-stop traffic.

The John Cooper Works, being the highest performance MINI Hatchback, is equipped with a different powertrain. The turbocharged 2-litre engine output is now 231 hp and 320 Nm of torque, enabling the car to hit 100 km/h from standstill in 6.1 seconds. With more power and an 8-speed Steptronic Sports Automatic, the top speed of the John Cooper Works is 246 km/h.
